So there’s this
woodpecker
He pecks all day
Peck Peck Peck
Peck Peck
Peck
Pecks his life away
Ever seen him stop and wonder?
At
the glories of the world and beyond?
Did you ever see?
Him
staring at a tree
And thinking about Joyce Kilmer?
Nope,
can’t recall
Any such incident

So why should I stop
And
smell the flowers I don’t see
Why should I write a poem
As
beautiful as a tree
When no one else gives a damn

I
should be hanging around friends
Rolling joints with the money for
my rent
I should be the eternal narcissist
Like the one who
sits above
But we’ll come to him later

Right now
what I wanna know
Is what gives me the right to control
Everything
I see
And everything I don’t
Coz frankly speaking
There’s
a lot I don’t know

What gives me the right
To play
with someone’s life
And blame it on ignorance?

I
thought someone could tell me
Someone could answer
The
stupidest question in the world
But if I ask someone
Why
they’re doing something
They all say the same thing
Coz
everyone else is.

Good.
So now we’ve got that
cleared.
I’m doing what I’m doing
Because everyone else is
doing what they’re doing
And everyone else is doing what they’re
doing
Because I’m doing what I’m doing

To sum it up,
None
of us know what any of us is doing
Or why they’re doing it.

Looks
like we evolved backwards.
At least the apes knew what they were
doing.
Sleep. Eat. Shit. Have Sex. Sleep.
That simple
collection of words got what the people
Who call themselves the
brainiest guys in the world didn’t:

Logic.

And
I’ll tell you why they didn’t get it
Because they were the
birdbrains
Who came up with the idea of a nuclear bomb
Which
has really set the bar for human stupidity
No one can surpass
that.

Because the ‘logic’ behind the nuclear bomb is
“You
give me what I want
Or I’ll blow up your country”

People
in the highest position of their respective countries
Spent money
exceeding ten times the number of their population
On such
nuclear bombs.
